terence: I like my S50's right now, they sound great to me, not too harsh. The bass extends pretty low, but when I add in the sub, it makes a difference. Even without the sub though, I've found myself forgetting that it's not turned on, b/c the speakers do a great job for the full range.

Then again, I haven't tried using the spikes yet, and I'm on carpet, so maybe that will help out even more.

I tried bi-wiring once, but I didn't notice much of a difference at all, I don't have proper equipment though, I don't have any kind of decent amps to attempt that, I'm running them off a Samson S1000 right now though and they like the extra power for sure!

I've actually tried looking hard for another pair of S50's, or even a single one (I have an extra S50 speaker sitting in a box) to use for surrounds, but I couldn't find a place selling them.
